The Adam Cole vs Pat McAfee Match Wasn't Rehearsed!?

This past week saw a match at Takeover that was great.

The surprising part was that it involved a pre-show host by the name of Pat McAfee AND the fact that it wasn't rehearsed.

At least, that's what it is reported.

Earlier in the week, Wrestling Observer Radio and Dave Meltzer (from Cagesideseats) said that the reason why the bout wasn't rehearsed is that quote:

"Just went in there and did it because they knew Pat was good and they know Adam is great."

Something really interesting to put out in the side, in an interview with ESPN, McAfee talked about how he perfectly nailed the Swanton during his bout with Adam Cole:

"Jeff Hardy came to my studio a year ago to be a part of the show, he and Matt. And we actually did a Swanton Bomb contest onto a trampoline that we had built in the office, off of a ladder.

And he gave me a high score, rave reviews. He taught me that. And that just seemed like the right thing to do at the time."

Samoa Joe Voices King Shark In Suicide Squad: Kill All The Justice League!?

So. DC Fandome happened and it was nothing but exciting announcements as a fan of all things comic book entertainment.

One of those exciting announcements was Rocksteady's Suicide Squad: Kill All The Justice League CGI trailer.

In it, it had a familiar individual that voiced the sh*t talking, King Shark.

That individual is current Monday Night RAW colour commentator, Samoa Joe.

Joe himself confirmed it on Twitter.

I will be definitely rubbing my hands like Birdman once the game comes out in 2022 on the next-gen consoles as well as PC.

When's Jimmy Uso Coming Back??

One half of The Usos, Jimmy Uso has been out of in-ring action since April.

It's been 4 months and we got an update regarding an-ring return for Uso.

In an interview with Table Talk, Jimmy Uso pretty much said that he's eyeing for a January 2021 return.

Keith Lee Is Getting New Theme Music!?

From Fightful Select (Cagesideseats), The reason why Keith Lee got some generic stock music as his theme song is that WWE is trying to tell its superstars to stop using CFO$ produced songs.

WWE owns 50% of CFO$'s music created for WWE. This WWE/CFO$ situation is worth its own separate article and I ain't going too long in this piece.

Sticking to Keith Lee, a reliable site when it comes to the music side of WWE, Arenataping tweeted out saying that Lee will have new music with lyrics.

All I can say is, I hope it's better than what they got.

Paul Ellering On Going To Manage AOP Once Again.

Paul Ellering recently spoke with the Two Man Power Trip Podcast.

In that discussion, the WWE Hall of Famer brought up the story of how he was about to manage AOP again (from WrestlingInc):

"The idea was to bring me back in, but then this corona stuff came up," Ellering said earlier this month. "Then the guys got hurt and they were out a while, so everything got put on the back shelf and I don't know where it sits now."

That would've been straight flames.

What do you think about the news I just reported and follow me on the tweets @omartheplayaguy. Anyways, stay safe smarks.

WWE Smackdown 21/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another time Pat McAfee shows me why he's better than Corey Graves. Both in the ring AND on the commentary table. As far as how I feel about this week's episode, it ain't good, people. It ain't good. An Image via WWE.com Sethy Mane Wanted A Tag Partner So….………. That he faces The Usos later in the show and if drippy Jesus wins, 2 out of 3 members of the Bloodline are barred off ringside in the blue title encounter (in case you were wondering, Kevin Owens was Seth's tag partner). BUTTTTTTTTTTTT! The tribal chief had other ideas. He proposed a pitch where if the "burn it down" man loses the tag match, the Rumble match is gone, FINITO! Bully Ray probably saw Seth Rollins' uttering Jox Moxley's name and reacted, "HOW DARE YOU!! BLASPHEMY!" Fortunately for SR The Drip Mane, he got what he wanted via a DQ finish thanks to a superman punch from Roman Reigns. While the ending did protect the tag champs, the consequences of i...

A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess? Smackdown. The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k. The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself. As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title. Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship. Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on V...

WWE Smackdown 17/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This recent instalment of Smackdown was decent. The women, for the most part, was the standout in this program and it honestly carried the show from a meh to a decent watch. The show started off with Jeff Hardy and Sheamus talking about the upcoming bar fight which you can scroll down to read my thoughts on it. Sasha Banks and Bayley Gives Us A New Perspective Of The Word "Greatness". The so-called "golden role models" were praising their greatness to which Nikki Cross was furious about the way she lost at Extreme Rules. So, Nikki wanted a rematch for the SmackDown women's championship and Bayley accepted that bout if Nikki faces her best friend, Alexa Bliss to determine the number one contender. That match started immediately after this segment and it was a good opener. Bayley and Sasha Banks were entertaining in the commentary as per usual. When Corey Graves brought the fact that Bayley didn't want t...
